Most people seem to think it’s better to be in a shit relationship with someone who makes you feel resentment, not yourself, and trapped, and to bring up miserable, dysfunctional, unhealthy and unhappy kids than it is to be alone. Alone you are supposed to learn to be the person you want to spend time with and the kind of person who would have a positive impact on other people. Not to fester and wallow in the shit person you are that makes good relationships impossible.
